The beginning of the apocalypse. It's been a week and so many people have been eaten alive in front of me. Their screams echo in my head with their blood staining my clothes. I lost everyone that I was with in the start. It was my friend, Holly and my sister, Maria. Holly got stuck in a room when me and Maria were climbing out of the window. They overran the door and all I remember is her screams for help. A few days later Maria and I were looking around for supplies when she had made a sound causing them to find her. I couldn't save her. I hate myself for that.

I had used their deaths to escape and I wish with every second that I could go back and save them but I know that's me being delusional. I have enough supplies to hopefully get me through a month if I can savor it. I left my home town and I'm on the road. That's when I hear a boy in the distance and my body goes numb. I couldn't move my feet and I felt stuck before I began running towards the screaming.

"This is stupid! What am I doing? Those things are coming towards the noise too. This is stupid, stupid, stupid!" My thoughts ran in my head but were cut short as I ran into someone. My hand flies to my belt that holds my knife. My eyes locked with his light brown eyes.

His hair was brown and messy with a few leaves mixed in due to the trees near the roads. His hair was shoulder length and he kinda looked like a girl  with it but it was obvious he wasn't. His eyes were slim but weren't tiny. They were filled with fear as I noticed his rapid breathing.

"Come on! We gotta go," I said as I took his hand and began running. My breathing became heavily as we ran for awhile before we stopped. "I think we're okay now." The boy said as he panted, taking a sip from a small water bottle. He tossed the bottle to me and I barely caught it but once I realized I did I too a big sip. "It feels nice to just drink water." I said to him before he smiled and laughed a little.

"I'm Marcus, Marcus Perkins. You may be?" The boy who's named Marcus says to me before I responded. "I'm Alice, Alice Chavez"

Sorry if this was short. I made this up and idk if it was good or not so. I may not finish this.
